Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.

• If there's a particular Southport destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.

• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
